The reference photo for this was taken in Colimilla, Mexico. I loved the way the sun bleached out the wood and cast the interesting shadow. I've painted this dock before but it had more detail in the painting.
Colimilla Dock
image size 15" x 22"
Watercolor
Here is the first painting of this dock:
This one was done as a poured watercolor where I applied resist, poured paint, applied more resist, poured paint, etc. It gives a totally different look and, of course, this first painting has a lot more going on in it.
I think they're both great! I enjoy painting subjects over and over. It's so fun to bring out something new each time. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kimberly.

ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry. I'd like to be sitting there right now too!
